Ever heard of vibe coding? (mastodon.bsd.cafe)

Ever heard of vibe coding?
It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.

I’ve seen it happen.
AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.
Nobody understood it.

We’re trading skill for speed.
And that’s how we lose our freedom.

> complete loss of the ability to write code not controlled by the big players.

This reminds me of a toot I read a few weeks back that went along the lines of "vibe-coding is just coding with a subscription" -- very true.

@[email protected] it is, unfortunately

@[email protected] I've been thinking a lot about when the other shoe will drop: as useful as they are if used wisely, that type of tooling has pricing that feels wildly unsustainable and I expect there to be a steep rise in costs when VC money runs out that will highlight problematic dependencies on it.

But then again, a lot of people rolled with nigh-yearly media streaming cost increases. 🫠
